The new me. I like myself alot more than the old me did. I feel like I have alot to say but I'm not sure who wants to hear it?

So , I've been gone a little while, and here's what I've done in that time:
Lost 100 pounds
Became a runner, ran 35+ races including several half marathons and a Tough Mudder.
Learned that I can only be me and trying to be someone else will only make me miserable. After all, "Comparison is the Thief of Joy".
Learned that I can be competitive, without making myself miserable.

My goals for this new phase of my photo life:
Shoot for me. Don't stress that I have to enter a challenge. If I'm not feeling it - don't stress, there will be more challenges.
Don't overwork the editing.
Recognize that my score is a symbol of what others think of my photo and does not change the appeal it may have had to me.
